Explanation:

The Cabinet Committee are organizations which are instrumental in reducing the workload of the Cabinet. They are formed under Transaction of Business Rules (TBR), 1961. These committees are extra-constitutional in nature and are nowhere mentioned in the Constitution.
Types and Composition of Cabinet Committees
1. Standing Cabinet Committee
These are permanent in nature with a specific job. These are specified in the First Schedule of TBR
The Cabinet Ministers are called its ‘members’ while the people without the rank of Cabinet Committee are called ‘special invitees’.
2. Ad-hoc Cabinet Committee
These are temporary in nature and are formed time to time to deal with specific tasks.
The composition of a Cabinet Committee varies from 3 to 8 people. Even Ministers who are not the part of the Cabinet can be added to a Cabinet Committee. Usually, each cabinet committee has at least one Cabinet Minister. The members of the Cabinet Committee can be from both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
